They have produced a near-perfect qualifying campaign, winning 11 of
12 matches — their only blemish was a goalless draw in Colombia last
month — to qualify with six games to spare.
Brazil were made to graft as Colombia had the better of the first half, but
an attacking tactical switch from coach Tite at half-time paid dividends
as the Selecao dominated after the break.
Colombia’s defeat saw them drop out of the four automatic qualifying
positions in the single South American group as Chile overtook them
after a third successive win, 1-0 away to Paraguay.
Wilmar Barrios had the first chance of the match, lashing a half volley
narrowly over the bar as Colombia made a bright start.
A typically muscular run into the box by Duvan Zapata saw him get off
a shot that flashed past the post.
Colombia were proving tough opponents and creating clearer chances.
